College Week 1

Some random pictures from when I just got back from Vietnam and before Laurent left. It was the first week at college and we were very unhappy hearing about all the assignments we have to hand in this term. However Katie was staying with us that week so we still had heaps of fun just down the college hill (especially on Icebreaker night; we had a blast partying at home instead of the Bassment - see above). I love capturing (or being captured in, as you can see) everyday moments; most of the time they turn out to be the better pictures that will always put a smile on your face. Not that I'm trying to say that partying is an everyday activity in our household.
By the way I'm really fond of taking b&w pictures these days, especially when the weather isn't very nice. But monkey's muffins had raspberries in them so I made an exception. :)

*credits to Laurent and Polly (and maybe Katie too? :D) for taking some of the pictures x

Saigon Saigon

End of January/beginning of February I flew home to Vietnam for around 10 days, just before the new college term started. It was lovely to be back home after a whole year here in Sydney; my sister has grown up so much and is the cutest little girl there could ever be in this world, and of course it was exciting to catch up with the whole family and some of my friends. The weather was absolutely enjoyable - not too hot, not cold, bright and sunny, no single rain drop. I spent a few days sick in bed, but all in all it was a great holiday :)  I also stopped in Singapore on my way to Ho Chi Minh and FINALLY bought my Nikon D3100 there (*happy dance*) so I was practising quite a bit at home as well.

Doesn't she look like Stitch from Lilo & Stitch here? Haha

I miss my little darling at home, it's her birthday soon so I'm gonna send her a present (note to self: buy present!). And I will receive a package with my tailored suits for college soon as well, bringing a bit of Saigonese air to my Manly life. Can't wait.

The boy's gone

But it doesn't mean goodbye, my lover.
We're just continuing two separate journeys until we meet again.

There is not much to say.

I have your swatch watch, your hoodie and your shirts, your chilli tree, your guitar and lots of other things you've left behind that hold the smell, taste and colour of our beautiful days.

I will miss your pretty face, your hilarious jokes, your warm and firm hug, even your candles on your stock market programme, and miss coming home seeing you work on your computer in the living room, miss "gratouilling" your beard and your hair, miss hearing you call me all my funny nicknames. Actually I am already.

Take care muffin. "See you in a bit"?
